NOT VERY ENCOURAGING. > Discussing a proposal that a New Zealand cricket team should yisit Australia next ' season the ."Arrow" remarks :—

season would not be. a good-time for-the visit to be made. The New Zealand matches would rank as small goods alongside tho South African matches. Besides, New South Wales and Victoria could not sparo the dates for New Zealand as well as South Africa .and Tasmania, and AY est Australia —there" wouli be very few Saturdays loft for- club cricket if all these tours were countenanced for one reason. Another thing, rscMv* ZoaJnnder.s do not appear to have made much improvement since the lost team visited Australia, and if that be the actual stale of tilings, they would be hopeless against the best intor-ulate teams on Australian wickels.
